    You see only your background image and the wallpaper?
    Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?
    Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.
    If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.
    If this is the case, the malicious software in general is preparing.
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.
    First, you need to get your work desk, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.
    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.
    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:
    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:
    %windir%\explorer.exe
    Click OK and see if get you your office.
    If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).
    If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.
    If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.
    I would start with these scans:
    Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I have a Mac Book Air of 2015 running El Captain I see the airplay icon in my menu bar and I've upgraded to the latest version of the software on my AppleTV 2, but I can't get the Airpay icon on the menu bar of my mac to turn blue when I select the apple TV connected to a HD from LG smart TV. Help!

    Hi, Arghbee1.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you are unable to AirPlay from your Mac to your Apple TV.  Here are some troubleshooting steps that I recommend to go through this problem.

    Get help

    If you do not see the AirPlay icon , make sure that your Apple TV is awake and that it meets the system requirements.

    If you do not see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV comply with the system requirementsand your software from the Apple TV is updated. Also check your firewall settings:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click the Firewall tab.
    2. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    3. Click Firewall Options.
    4. Deselect the option "block all incoming connections".
    5. Select the option "automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections.

    If your office does not look great on your HDTV, high-definition TV could apply image quality improvements that are not the best for the computer images. Check the manual of your HDTV for more information on how to adjust your HDTV settings for use with a computer. Your HD TV could offer a more appropriate display mode, such as the computer or game mode mode. Also try adjusting the HDTV settings like sharpness, retail building and noise reduction.

    If you mirror your screen and the image correspond to your HDTV screen, you can adjust the size of the Office for the best image. Click the AirPlay icon, and then select an option under "game size desk to." If you fit to desktop size to your Apple TV, the image fills the screen HDTV but will not look as good on your Mac screen. Learn more about overscan and underscan and what you can do about it.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

    Use AirPlay to view a video of your Mac on a HDTV

  • screen resolution of the remote desktop: fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.

    Remote Desktop screen resolution

    I've recently upgraded to a Windows 7 laptop from a computer in Office XP.

    On my old machine, I use a VPN clent and Remote Desktop connection to use my work computer (my company uses XP on their machines).  If I try to connect from my computer Windows 7, fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.  Change display options in the settings of remote desktop doesn't affect the size of the window, not the resolution.

    It is a problem because I am stuck using my old system to work remotely.

    Any ideas?

    All you have to do is to reduce the resolution of the screen that you use to connect to your Remote Desktop Session.  More the higher resolution and the characters will be on your screen, and when you connect to Remote Desktop.  In my case, I lowered the resolution of my screen to the House for the resolution of the screen in my office.  It works perfectly.  To reduce the resolution follow these steps:

    1. click on start

    2. click on Control Panel

    3. under appearance & personalization - click on adjust screen resolution.  You may get a message indicating that your resolution is not at the optimum, but don't worry you will still be able to see the letters on your screen.

  • CC of Adobe icon in the menu bar does not open

    The icon of Adobe CC swirly in the menu bar will not be open. I use Mac OS 10 Yosemite.

    As a side note, I figured out that clicking Applications > utilities > Adobe Installers gets allows you to access programs to uninstall for older versions of Adobe CS (I want to delete older versions of CS on my laptop because they take place and I only need the latest version of CC). And when you click an uninstall program, the icon of Adobe CC swirly in the menu bar opens to the old version of Adobe Application Manager. I suspect, it attempts to open an older version that is not there. And if this is the case, I need to run the new version of Adobe Application Manager to get the icon in the menu bar to join in the latest version. But I don't know where he is.

    Clues?

    Well, I got it fixed me.

    I uninstalled older versions of CS, restarted the computer and went to: Applications > utilities > Adobe Creative Cloud > VAC > CreativeCloud and manually launch the application manager.

  • Add icons to the menu bar in 13 items

    Just watched a video in "Ask Bob" and noticed his window of PSE 13 icons on the menu bar, probably his most frequently used. This is a feature that was missing from PES 11 (at least I couldn't find it!), and one that I had hoped would be made available in PSE 13, as it is in almost every other program I use. I don't see how to do it, and I couldn't find a reference in the user manual. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this customization - add icons in the menu bar (or elsewhere) for tasks often used without having to open the drop-down menus.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that "Ask Bob" uses a MAC and those are the icons associated with applications of system not with PSE - it's like the taskbar on a Windows System.

    You are running on a MAC or a Windows system?
